Alexander Skarsgård’s X-Rated Fantasy Will Shock You

Coming of age stories don’t come much more eccentric, or X-rated, than Pillion, the story of a mild-mannered man and the BDSM daddy who takes him into his home, under his wing, and on a journey of stern self-discovery.

A breakout hit at last year’s Cannes and New York Film Festivals, Harry Lighton’s boundary-pushing queer drama (February 6, in theaters) has a confidence that initially eludes its protagonist, whose affair with a mysterious hunk transforms his perspective on love, happiness, pleasure, and power. With a fearless and funny Alexander Skarsgård as England’s most intimidating and alluring dom, it’s a steamy, sad, and amusing snapshot of desire and identity.
